Windows Vista vs Version of Office?

Hi:

I tried MicroSoft Office Home and Student 2007 Trial. I didn't really care
for all the things on there. Is there any thing is I could use with Vista? I
liked the Word programs I used in XP before. Any suggestions on other
products out there that may be FREE or low in pricing?

Office 2002 (XP) works fine and should be available at minimal cost.
Note that Outlook does not work unless you move to at least 2003.

I think Outlook 2002 will work. It just makes you type in your user name
and password every time you open it and there's no fix.

Suggest you try OpenOffice.org. It's free and will only cost you a few
minutes to download and install. It's highly compatible with MS Office -
imports and exports MS office file formats as well as industry standards.

Well, if you consider that "working", I concur. I have a dozen email
accounts... for me, it's definitely unworkable.
